Recently we had our team outing in Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg, NJ not the Hamburg in Northern Germany but in NJ. Most of the cities in North America have the names from Europe and got to show the amount of European settlements in North America. We had a cooking competition in the morning, split in to four teams and every team should make an appetizer, main course which will be tasted by the Chef and will decide the winning team at the end. The allotted time for cooking is 45 minutes. We had an international team with team members from India, Russia, Germany, Taiwan and Ecuador.
My colleague Sergej said in the brainstorming session that even if we lose never mind but let’s try something innovative. We decided to cook Go Cheese with Strawberry sauce with it. In addition to that we made Chicken, Shrimps and mushroom. It was so much fun wearing Chef Aprons, cooking gloves and it’s a perfect team building exercise. The results were based on the tastiness of the food, cleanliness, team work and presentation of the food. In the end our team emerged as winners and we were presented with a bottle of wine from California and 100$ gift card from Chinese restaurant. I think Go Cheese with Strawberry sauce did the trick for us.
Followed by this cooking competition was a nice buffet and we chilled around in the golf playing area for some time. Then comes an interesting sport ‘Soccer Golf’: hitting the ball with the leg but placing the Soccer ball inside the big Golf hole. We never noted down the points and we just played for fun by placing the ball inside the hole. The weather stayed absolutely fine and it was a perfect day for Soccer cum Golf. It was so much fun to drive the Golf cart between the flag sticks holes and drinking beer in between. All in all it was a day to remember and thanks to Werum for sponsoring such a team building event.
